Database Develop

FMyLife.com App [Request]

Ok. http://www.fmylife.com is absolutely hilarious. It is a site of things that have happened to people. It is a lot like twitter, they are small messages you post about crappy things that happened to you and people can vote either "Yes your life is f***ed" or "You had that one coming". I read it daily just for laughs and they have an API available to developers in the form of an XML feed to retrieve them. You can also have full control to log into your account and post another great FMyLife story thru the API. This would be great to be able to post them on the go straight from your Android mobile. Lol please check out this site and if a capable dev wants to give it a go I can set you up with the info. Thanks all, enjoy reading about peoples crappy lives!

That would be great if there was an app of that site

I had never heard of that site before.. but it's effing hilarious. RSS'd.

I just use http://iphone.fmylife.com

This is the greatest website EVER! Haha if you go twitter, just follow them. I just added them so no need for an extra app

you're in the wrong forum buddy. This app is for android, not palm.

There is a 1x4 widget available for Android 1.5 (cupcake) users.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.mlst.fmlwidget
or search "fml widget" in market

there's a application in the market,
search for "FML" in the market, works amazing.

x911 exclusive droid X rom

Hello everyone. Well I have some free time now and have decided to make a rom exclusively for the X. It will be called x911. After testing out a few and not finding exactly what I like, I decided to start this project. So If anyone is interested in testing a beta, giving some input/requests on certain features etc, let me know. Updates and news about dev will be on "thevideomole" .com - can't direct link sorry. Just sign up for an account and follow my wall if your interested in participating, or just want to know about the rom, release date etc. Thanks.
James LaBarr

I'll test for you, no problem.

never mind. I was going to say something. but never mind.

Thanks for the heads up at OP

Great, like I said, I have posted this in a few droid x forums, and handling this in all forums would suck, so It wall all be handled at thevideomole.com - just join the droid x lovers group, all updates will go thru there, and thanks everyone, im glad people are interested in this.

yea, what he said....

Well who am I is kind of a weird question. Who are you? Anyway I made a crude boot animation for my x911 AOSP Froyo Rom, needs much polishing but the concept is there. Video is on the site previously posted. This weekend that should begin and I can begin coding.

I think he was trying to ask about your experience with android coding

I don't think that a person asking about your background or experience is kind of a weird question. To be honest I normally close threads like this because its been my experience that ROMS are never produced. Perhaps you if you are soliciting feedback you may post a beta or test ROM you are working. Guys in this forum are used to a lot of fake posts.

Exactly...I didn't mean who are you on a personal level, I meant it as, who are you as it pertains to the Android Community. I write articles and news that's Android related, and have been around for a long time in the forums, but I have never heard of you or your brand of ROMs. So I meant who are you as a Developer or Chef, because maybe you are an experienced Dev and I just don't know of you. But also you could be that kid jdkclipse from the incredible and other forums...some might know that drama.
Either way though, if u have a ROM, just post it and a screenshot and a detailed changelog/info on it, no need to open a thread until you have that.
Cheers!

i would love to test. I'm also feelign the same way you are on roms. I wanna build my own too but not much help for the Droid x. We may can collaborate to make a pretty good rom

[Q] words with friends for tablets?

Anyone know where I can find the words with friends the tablet edition? I see it posted with reviews running on a xoom but I can't find where to actually download the table version.

In the market, click games on the right side and under "Featured for Tablets" it should be listed. I have not tried it though.

Well I was curious and installed it but it looks more like the phone version than a tablet version to me. It does seem to work though.
EDIT: The tiles seem to be covered at the bottom by the status area. I guess this will not work. I am using Wordfeud which is not tablet but it does work 100%.

This is most definately not the tablet version. Zynga has their head up their ass.

There hasn't been an update released since a week before the XOOM's release, so I'd imagine it will be updated in the near future to be compatible with Honeycomb.

So i went ahead and emailed them and in their first email they told me to uninstall it and reinstall it and to reboot the tablet. The lady told me that this should work. So i emailed her back saying it still did not work and this is what I got back...

Hello Timothy,

The app in Google Marketplace is actually the same app some users are playing with on their Motorola Xoom. However, we've been getting some bug reports lately that the scaling issue of the game is not compatible with the display screen of the device.

Still not the same one from the videos, but its now playable as you can see the letters.

Yes it definitely is not the version they were demoing as tablet optimized but it works now like a giant version of the phone app

I contacted Syntax about the matter and this is the response I got from them about 2 minutes ago.

people:
STOP POSTING THE CANNED RESPONSES YOU ARE GETTING FROM THE DEVELOPER!!!
if you get something substantive, by all means, share, but there are now 3 almost verbatim posts of the bot-ish response. we get it, they are working on it...
that is all. sorry to rant.

And what of substance are you adding to the conversation?
If you read my post would see that there is a difference from the others. They have changed their stadsrd boiler plate answer and now have admitted that the one found on the market is not the one optimized for tablets. Please stop telling others what they should or should not post.

working now... update is out

No problem.
I would note that the email I got was AFTER the update was already in the Market. So I surmise that the tablet update is still pending.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Wanted to share some more information. After further email exchanges I was able to gather from Zynga that the current update in the market was immediately put out to address the issues that made WWF unplayable on the XOOM. However he did confirm that their will be a"special" update coming soon for tablets.
I don't mean to reiterate anything you already know but I thought I would just recap.

Hi Sam! You did great with the vids! Other than the Nexus S, what phones do you use actively? Do you install custom ROMs on your android phone(s)?

Hey Sam
Which videos to you prefer doing XDATV or tehkseven?

I'd like to see you compile a list of links for each show that you do so that when we hear you mention something interesting that we missed, we can quickly find it.

We do this anyway. Check the description of the videos and you will see a list of links to the relevant stories.

Sam,
I like your style. You keep things light hearted and laughable while maintaining a geeky clean nerd style. You are very entertaining.
I would like to request more content and more relevant content per video. You have not yet covered Samsung anything.... Samsung is the top USA producer of mobile devices. the i9000 is the #2 most popular forum. There is alot of development in that area. Also, you have not covered much in the way of technical items. I'd like to see some serious geeking out. I'm not asking for just myself, I own a Samsung Captivate, which is similar, but not mainstream.
I'm very sorry to hear that you have an apple product. It might be a good idea to not mention that thing... You'll notice that ipad/iphone forums are kept on a different website all-together.
here is some seriously geeky stuff which has not been covered yet on any XDA videos...

Call for developers: enable video calls in Android
Dear Sam,
This is a request that I have which I'd like to ask you to please air up in your show.
This is about UMTS video calls. This is a carrier feature which for years is supported by many devices but is completely missing in Android.
This is a call for developers. Please get us UMTS video calls in Android and submit the patch to AOSP and CyanogenMod. The reason to submit the patch to CyanogenMod as well, is that there it may be accepted sooner.
Here's the AOSP feature request issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2664
Here's the CyanogenMod one:

Love the nice format
Nice format. I'm a "noob" but your show is really easy to follow & I like the style/humor. Nice work.

Noob here as well

Just got up to date with watching the shows on the podcast (so will be adding the new ones soon).
Loving the shows, good stuff.
Hope to see more of the neighbour you watch from your darkened room.
Update:
All the latest videos are on the podcast now!

Hey Sam, just said I'd stop by and say I hope your face is ok after that unmerciful slap that SassiBob gave you.

Planning on Making an Android site

Hey guys,
Well I am planning on making a site for Android, and i need some help.
First thing I need help with finding a domain. For some reason most domains that I've tried are already taken.
So i need someone more creative than me.
The site will have news and reviews of android and android devices.
Thats all i've thought of right now.
The domain has to be a .com , and maybe have "android" somewhere in there .. ?
So help here

any help ?

Well. there is a reason for that ... and its that there is already a million stupid ass android review websites..
no offense intended ... but really ? why do you want to make this site? are you going to be footing the entire bill in terms of server space/ maintenance ?
While i do wish you luck in your endeavour.... Unless you have somthing really unique to offer , you website will become another speck on a already huge pile..
And you are already on one of the best resources for android reviews
just my thoughts on it ...
Good luck Yo!

I know, but it will hopefully offer something unique.
and remember this. When facebook started myspace had millions of members. If facebook founders had thought like you, then there would be no facebook. But hey facebook is now leading in social networking.
So XDA, I respect it a lot, and will always do, but if no one comes up with competition us (consumers, guests, viewers) won't get better content
Anyways, I am sure this wasn't the point of the thread here x.x
